Pirates: Rush to the Peak

"Is the monster you are talking about a combination of various beasts?"

The Tyrannosaurus suddenly asked.

"It does look like a patchwork of various animals. What's wrong?"

After hearing Robin's answer, the two looked at each other with serious expressions.

"The monster you're talking about is Barti, the boss of this Colosseum. That guy can take our power and use it for himself."

"Judging from the results of our many battles with him, I'm afraid your captain is in great danger."

The two looked at Jixiang and the others with serious expressions and spoke in a very serious tone.

"Our captain's strength is beyond your imagination. Besides, didn't you notice that the collar around his neck has disappeared?"

Ah Er chuckled when he heard what the two said, and pointed at the broken collars around their necks.

The two immediately looked at each other's necks, only to see that the place where the collars were originally was empty.

The thing that controlled them in fighting all day long really disappeared!

"Is it true that Pati was defeated?"

The two touched their necks in disbelief, and these words suddenly popped up in their minds.

"The collar is gone!"

"It's really gone, ahhh~ woooooo, I'm finally free!"

"Wooooooooooo, Bev I can get out of here! Bev!!!"

...............

One of the beasts saw the collar disappear and immediately knelt on the ground and cried. The white bear Belle hugged a piece of wool and cried loudly!

The wild beasts roared one after another. The sudden freedom made them feel unbelievable and eager at the same time.

"Whoosh!"

A high-speed moving sound was heard, and Kuro instantly moved to Robin's side. He was a little curious when he saw the roaring beasts in the Colosseum.

"What are they doing?"

“Celebrating rebirth.”

When Kuro heard Robin's words, he nodded with an expression that said "I see".

"Captain, was Pati defeated by you?"

"Bati? Who's that?"

"It's the monster you shot away."

Seeing Kuro's puzzled expression, Redfield suddenly spoke up to explain.

"Oh, that guy has been killed by me."

Kuro said in a nonchalant tone after hearing what Redfield said.

"You killed Pati?"

"Well, his body is still outside. If you're interested, you can go and take a look."

When the Tyrannosaurus heard what Kuro said, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face. Seeing his expression, Kuro raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the body of the man in black.

"No need. We trust you. Otherwise, we can't free ourselves from the control of the collar."

"Yes, the collar disappeared, which means that Barti's fruit ability is really lifted."

Rhino Man and Tyrannosaurus Man looked at Kuro excitedly. After speaking, they looked at each other and nodded.

"Captain, we want to join your pirate group, please accept us!"

Rhino Man and Tyrannosaurus Man both knelt on the ground, looked at Kuro with serious expressions, and said in a firm tone!

"Eh?"

"Will you join us?"

Jixiang and Lulang looked surprised when they heard what the two said.

"That's right!"

"Why do you want to join us?"

Hearing the two people's firm answers, Er struggled to walk over and asked curiously.

"Repay the favor! The captain killed Bati. For us, this is a life-saving favor. The only thing that still has some value for us is our strength."

"Captain, please accept us if possible!"

Kuro looked at Redfield, a red light flashed in Redfield's eyes, and then he turned his head and nodded to Kuro.

"Did you have a bad time in the Colosseum?"

"Our only value in this place is to kill each other for their amusement. In this so-called beast duel, if we're lucky, both of us can survive. If we're unlucky, we'll both die."

"We, we are no better than dogs here. That damn collar directly controls our bodies to fight, leaving us with no way to resist."

Kuro's question made the two men more and more excited. The Rhino Man even had tears in his eyes, and the Tyrannosaurus Man also had a gloomy look on his face and sighed.

"That shouldn't be the case. Logically, if the host dies, the fruit ability will also dissipate. Your status should be very high."

"After all, each devil fruit is not a small amount of money."

Seeing the expressions of the two people, Kuro was very puzzled. People with fruit ability should be rare, so why would they die here so easily?

"You don't know that in the Colosseum, beasts are the least valuable. Although devil fruit users are rare, Barti can extract the abilities in our bodies."

"Extracting power?"

Hearing what Tyrannosaurus said, Kuro suddenly became alert and listened attentively to what Tyrannosaurus said next.

"That's right. When each beast is on the verge of death, Barti can use the collar to extract his fruit energy and transfer it to the next guy wearing the collar."

"From what I know, it should be related to his fruit ability. Barti relies on this ability, so she doesn't care about our life or death at all."

The rhino's words suddenly reminded Kuro of one thing: the hybrid form that Batti became after extracting green energy from the beasts.

Isn't that the state formed by the fusion of various animal-type abilities? So it seems that green energy is the devil fruit.

"It's too early to let him die! If I had known he could really hunt devil fruits, I would have kept him and used him to extract other people's devil fruits!"

The more Kuro thought about it, the more he felt it was possible, which made him regret it.

It has been a while since Barti was killed by him. I am afraid that Barti’s fruit has been reborn in some sea area!

"Alas, next time before I kill someone, I have to ask him if he has any special skills. I can't just kill him like that. It's a huge loss for me after I kill him!"

Kuro scratched his face, shook his head and sighed with a helpless expression.

"Since you want to board my ship, you should first listen to the rules of my ship and then make your decision."

"Okay Captain!"

"There is only one iron rule on my ship, and that is betrayal is not allowed!"

"Anyone who betrays his companions and the Pirate Group, I will find him no matter where he is, and kill him with my own hands!"

"If you can accept this rule, then I welcome you to join us."

Kuro used courtesy before force. Although he had planned to take all the beasts away from the beginning, it would be better to let them join willingly.

"We swear that we will never betray our companions. Otherwise, you don't have to kill us. We will kill ourselves!"

"Okay, I accept your joining in the name of the captain."

When the two heard what Kuro said, they immediately shouted loudly. Kuro looked at them with satisfaction and then agreed to let them join.

"Hahaha, you are welcome to join!"

"We are the seniors who joined first!"

Jixiang and Huangmao ran over happily and patted their shoulders, while Lulang put his hands on his hips with a proud expression.

Everyone was chatting happily together, and the wild beasts in the distance looked at this side cautiously and did not dare to speak.

The Tyrannosaurus looked at them, then quickly walked over to them and started talking to them.

After a while, the Tyrannosaurus led all the beasts over.

"Captain, without the Colosseum, they have nowhere else to go. Can you take them in as well?"

The Tyrannosaurus held the little girl's hand with his left hand. Most of the beasts in this group were captured orphans.

Some of them had just been captured and given the power of fruits, and they hadn’t even mastered the abilities yet, so they didn’t know where to go back to.
